Two-year-old TikTok star Preston Ordone told mom he loved her in final video before death

Two-year-old Preston Ordone, known for his appearances in the popular Okay Baby videos, appeared in one final TikTok before he was killed in a car crash.

The accident occurred as the vehicle, with Preston and his parents Katelynn and Jaelen Ordone inside, veered off the road and collided with a tree.

While Preston died in the crash, his parents were left with serious injuries and had to be hospitalized. In a heart-wrenching TikTok video posted by Katelynn on April 19, just five days before the fatal incident, Preston was seen expressing his love to his mother.

Preston was filmed saying "I love you," as he ran towards her. She responded warmly with, "Oh, I love you," followed by a hug from Preston.

The video then took a light-hearted turn as Katelynn engaged in a new TikTok trend, humorously stating, "Listen, I have a problem. I'm so hungry right now. That I literally could eat a kid."

A puzzled Preston reacted with, "Huh?" and playfully suggested, "You can eat Paisley Anne. Eat Paisley Anne. That's so mean."

Katelynn shared the video with the caption, "Idek what I expected but this wasn't it," accompanied by two crying laughing emojis. Since the tragedy, fans have flooded the comments section with tributes to Preston.

One person wrote, "This is truly heartbreaking rest easy okay baby."

Another commented, "I'm still searching through the comments to hear someone say its not true sigh," while a third expressed, "Rest in peace baby Preston! You touched so many lives with your bright light. Praying that God comforts this family during this hard time."

On April 24, just before 11:50 a. m., Preston was killed in a car accident on Interstate 12 in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. He was returning home with his parents from a doctor's appointment.

According to police, Preston was "improperly restrained" in his child safety seat at the time of the crash, as stated in a Facebook update. Authorities took a routine toxicology sample from the driver for analysis as part of the investigation.

The Louisiana State Police emphasized in their post the importance of proper restraint for all vehicle occupants, stating, "Louisiana law requires all occupants, regardless of seating position, to be properly restrained at all times. The proper use of seat belts and child safety seats can be the difference between life and death. Ensuring correct installation and usage of car seats and booster seats is critical to preventing injuries and saving lives."

They highlighted that correct use of seat belts and child safety seats is often the critical factor between life and death.

However, Preston's grandfather, Glen Norris, has disputed the police account. In an interview with Nola, he mentioned speaking to an eyewitness who pulled Preston from the vehicle and confirmed the boy was indeed properly restrained.

Glen expressed feeling "numb" upon receiving news of his grandson's passing and voiced his anger towards the state police's public statement, which he found "hurtful and painful."

He also acknowledged that his family faces a "long road ahead" in coping with their loss.

Friends of Katelynn and Jaelen took to TikTok to announce the heartbreaking news about Preston. "Katelynn and the family has asked us to make a video to update you guys. Katelynn, Jaelyn, and Preston were involved in an accident. Paisley - you guys know Paisley - she was at school at the time. She was not in the vehicle," they shared.

The friends detailed the tragic event, saying, "Their truck veered to the right off the interstate and struck a tree and unfortunately Preston didn't make it. Katelynn and Jaelyn are severely injured. Katelynn has multiple broken bones. She had a very bad concussion. She walked for the first time today. Jaelen had to have emergency surgery on one of his legs. He has rods in him, pins in them, and they are both at different hospitals."

In a touching tribute, they added, "I just want to explain that Preston had made a huge impact on all of you guys. He made people smile, laugh, and I know you guys look forward to seeing him every day. And I know in heaven right now, if there's mud in heaven, he's probably found it and is jumping and dancing in it, running up and down the streets of gold in his overalls. He probably has golden overalls. We're going to miss him a lot."
